We peeked through the curtains in the multipurpose room and saw all the parents were there. ... We were waiting for the curtain to open when Andrea pulled me aside.
“A,J.,” she said, “I want you to know that just because we have to kiss each other doesn’t mean I like you.”

I’d like to know what’s the subject of “doesn’t mean” in the last sentence. Is it the clause “because we have to kiss each other”? And can the sentence be reworded like this?
“I want you to know that we have to kiss each other doesn’t mean I like you.”
